Zebedee, <Just curious if you have succumbed to the options bug yet? > Well, not only did I (had a few short term profitable trades buying Calls)...I now am watching the Feb 15's disintergrate (a really good reason to get good earnings next week). I could have gotten out quick...but, put in my order 1/4 above the ask on one memorable day. Price hasn't been there since. The Feb 12 1/2 are also giving me grief. There's still a chance for them...I think. So the moral of this story is: Don't buy options without expecting to lose most or all of the value. Get out fast---if you can. No regrets though. Linda I need to go back to Tom's post to have another laugh.
